About the author
Garret Moffett writes local ghost-lore books for History Press, including Haunted Springfield, Illinois and Haunted Macomb. Haunted Springfield, Illinois draws on the city's history, from its association with Abraham Lincoln to more obscure local stories, to recount reported hauntings tied to specific places and figures in the city. Haunted Macomb takes a similar approach to the Illinois town of Macomb, tracing its development from a nineteenth-century frontier settlement into a modern community while collecting local accounts of ghosts said to have lingered since the town's founding in 1828. Both books belong to History Press's regional haunted-history series, which pairs local historical research with collected ghost stories tied to named places, people and buildings. They are aimed at readers interested in local history and folklore specific to these Illinois communities rather than at readers looking for general studies of the paranormal.
